Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of infrared focus planes of detecting technique, in particular to basic pixel to have combination sensitive Meta structure, the differential signal by combining sensitive member carry out the infrared focus plane of detection of gas and imaging.
Background technology
Most of gas only with visually can't see, wherein being no lack of some hazardous gases, there is many fields in modern industry Conjunction will come into contacts with these gases, and the technology for detecting these gases has important answer in fields such as chemical industry, mineral products, electric power and environmental protection With.For example there is an urgent need for can remote probe and positioning sulfur hexafluoride (SF in electric power facility field6) leakage technology and instrument, SF6Gas exists It is used as dielectric in high-voltage circuitbreaker and switchgear, once leakage occurs will be to electric power facility, environment and people Member causes damages, therefore finds and position SF in time6Leakage point is of great significance to the steady operation of preserving peace of electric power facility.
The detection of gas technology of early stage carries out detection of gas, this proximity or contact using gas " sniff " sensor Detection limits its application scenario.The gas imaging technology developed later based on infrared camera because of its remote sensing, in real time The advantages that the features such as detection and visualization is caused safe efficient, portable, becomes a kind of superior detection of gas technology.This Smoke can be presented on the image captured by camera to scanning area real time imagery, leaked gas in kind infrared-gas imaging technique The state of mist, user can intuitively see the gas leakage being invisible to the naked eye originally very much.Its basic principle and our naked eyes See that the principle of smog is similar:In the presence of having smog, absorption, scattering and spoke of the visible optical radiation because of smog of human eye are reached It penetrates and changes, so smog is just seen, and infrared thermoviewer is when occurring using detected gas, on imaging focal plane Infra-red radiation that photosensitive member receives changes and is imaged.
Passive type infrared-gas imaging technique is to utilize an optical filter or spectro-grating at present, to make photosensitive member only receive The radiation of distinctive infra-red bands, if the wave band is designed at the fingerprint wavelength of detected gas, since gas is in the wave band With stronger absorption, in the presence of gas, reaching the radiation of photosensitive member can be much less because of the absorption of gas, to enhance Gas imaging contrast.This method can be used to the leakage of real-time detection gas, such as in the detectable SF of long wave infrared region6(fingerprint 10.6 μm of wavelength), in a series of detectable volatile organic matters of medium-wave infrared wave band such as methane, propane and butane.It is but this Detection method needs to combine light splitting part with exploring block, necessarily causes detector volume larger, and the technique of realization is also more It is complicated.In addition, this method cannot eliminate background photo current in integrating circuit, high background lower integral capacitance is easily saturated, so Detector sensitivity is relatively low, and dynamic detecting range is also smaller, and the application in high background, complex scene is restricted.
Invention content
The purpose of the present invention is to propose to a kind of infrared focus planes being made of basic pixel the sensitive member of combination, provide a kind of new Infrared-gas imaging method, background photo current cannot be completely eliminated by solving existing gas imaging focal plane, detectivity compared with The smaller problem of low and effective dynamic detecting range.
The technical scheme is that:Infrared focus plane is made of pixel array chip and readout circuit chip, wherein Each pixel on pixel array chip is made of two independent sensitive member combinations.Two sensitive member A and B have different light Response characteristic is composed, wherein sensitivity member B obtains more sharp response peak by means such as structural modulations, and peak position design is waiting for At the fingerprint wavelength of probe gas, the response peak position of sensitive member A modulates to be staggered 0.1-1 microns of the wavelength.Pass through structure design It demarcates, two sensitive members is adjusted to the spectral response integrated value of black body radiation equal with the later stage.A, the signal output of the sensitive members of B two End is connected with difference channel, difference channel as reading circuit input stage a part to reading circuit output difference signal.
Steps are as follows for infrared-gas imaging method based on sensitive member signal differential infrared-gas imaging focal plane:
Each pixel on pixel array chip includes two independent sensitive members.Two sensitivity member A and B pass through structure tune The means such as system obtain more sharp response peak, and the response peak position design of sensitive member B is in the fingerprint wavelength of gas to be detected The response peak position at place, sensitive member A modulates to be staggered the wavelength.It is demarcated by structure design and later stage, by two sensitive members to black matrix The spectral response integrated value of radiation is adjusted to equal.A, the signal output end of the sensitive members of B two is connected with difference channel, and difference channel is made For reading circuit input stage a part to rear class circuit output differential signal.When detector works two are exported by difference channel The response difference of sensitive member, the response difference are exactly the signal value of the pixels of two sensitive member compositions, the size of the value with it is detected Gas detection light path on concentration and measure it is proportional, using reading circuit export the difference signal can to institute's probe gas at Picture.
It is an advantage of the invention that:
1, the differential signal of the sensitive member of this combination can directly eliminate the influence of background radiation, and signal processing system does not need Background radiation inhibition is carried out again.
2, the imaging signal of existing gas imaging instrument contains response of the pixel to background radiation, this can cause dense with gas Spend that relevant useful signal ratio is relatively low, and the sensitivity of detection of gas is relatively low, and the output signal of pixel is combination in the present invention The differential signal of sensitive member, signal strength is directly proportional to the concentration of gas, and theoretically gained signal is entirely dense with gas Spend relevant useful signal.
3, for the common focus planar detector being operated under high background, signal photoelectric current is generally less than background photo current, Integrating capacitor is easily saturated when signal is read, thus the ideal signal-to-noise ratio of more difficult acquisition and larger effective dynamic detecting range, And the differential signal photoelectric current of the present invention does not include background photo current, integrating capacitor is not easy to be saturated, thus useful signal has very Big dynamic range, to obtain very high detection of gas sensitivity and larger dynamic detecting range.
4, due to this invention removes the influence of background radiation, gained signal also just without background radiation noise, so The signal noise of the present invention is solely dependent upon the noise of circuit system, can obtain ideal signal-to-noise ratio.
